The Kunstpalais includes the Erlangen Municipal Collection, which now comprises more than 4,500 works. The focus of this collection is on international art in reproduced form, including prints, multiples, artists' books, photographs and video works.
Since its foundation in 1966, the collection has grown considerably. This is thanks to donations from artists and private individuals as well as purchases from municipal funds. It offers an insight into art history after 1945 and includes important movements such as Pop Art, Op Art, Land Art, Concrete Art and Art Informel.
Selected new works are added to the collection every year in order to continue to represent contemporary art and its most important representatives.
